Project description:Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a high-risk malignancy characterized by a diverse spectrum of somatic genetic alterations. The mechanisms by which these mutations contribute to leukemia development and how this informs the use of targeted therapies is critical to improving outcomes. Importantly, how to target loss-of-function mutations has been a critical challenge in precision medicine. Heterozygous inactivating mutations in cohesin complex genes contribute to AML by increasing the self-renewal capacity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) by altering PRC2 targeting to induce HOXA9 expression, a key self-renewal transcription factor. Here we sought to delineate the mechanism underpinning the enhanced self-renewal conferred by cohesin haploinsufficiency. Using primary (HSPCs) as a model we demonstrate that a reduction in a core cohesin subunit is associated with decreased H3K27me3 and increased H3K79me2, along with increased self-renewal capacity and a leukemic transcriptional profile. Inhibition of DOT1L in cohesin-depleted HSPCs restored normal self-renewal, H3K27me3 and H3K79me2 levels, and gene expression, identifying DOT1L as a potential therapeutic target in cohesin haploinsufficient AML. Together our data further characterizes the mechanism by which cohesin mutations contribute to AML and identifies DOT1L as a potential therapeutic target for AML patients harboring cohesin mutations.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a high-risk malignancy characterized by a diverse spectrum of somatic genetic alterations. The mechanisms by which these mutations contribute to leukemia development and how this informs the use of targeted therapies is critical to improving outcomes for patients. Importantly, how to target loss-of-function mutations has been a critical challenge in precision medicine. Heterozygous inactivating mutations in cohesin complex genes contribute to AML in adults by increasing the self-renewal capacity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) by altering PRC2 targeting to induce HOXA9 expression, a key self-renewal transcription factor. Here we sought to delineate the epigenetic mechanism underpinning the enhanced self-renewal conferred by cohesin-haploinsufficiency. First, given the substantial difference in the mutational spectrum between pediatric and adult AML patients, we first sought to identify if HOXA9 was also elevated in children. Next, using primary HSPCs as a model we demonstrate that abnormal self-renewal due to cohesin loss is blocked by DOT1L inhibition. In cohesin-depleted cells, DOT1L inhibition is associated with H3K79me2 depletion and a concomitant increase in H3K27me3. Importantly, we find that there are cohesin-dependent gene expression changes that promote a leukemic profile, including HoxA overexpression, that are preferentially reversed by DOT1L inhibition. Our data further characterize how cohesin mutations contribute to AML development, identifying DOT1L as a potential therapeutic target for adult and pediatric AML patients harboring cohesin mutations.

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells undergo both self-renewal to maintain the stem cell population and differentiation to produce mature sperm. These processes are controlled by both stem cell-intrinsic and external niche factors. DOT1L, the sole H3K79 methyltransferase, is dispensable for mouse embryonic stem cell self-renewal but instead functions as a barrier to somatic cell reprogramming. Here we show that DOT1L is required for spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal. Mice lacking DOT1L in the germ cells show a failure in the maintenance of spermatogonial stem cells without a block in spermatogenic cell differentiation and thus a progressive loss of germ cells, leading to a Sertoli-cell-only syndrome. Chemical inhibition of DOT1L in cultured stem cells reduces the spermatogonial stem cell activity after transplantation. RNA-seq analysis reveals downregulation of Hoxc cluster genes in DOT1L-inhibited spermatogonia stem cells. Single cell RNA-seq analysis demonstrates that inhibition of DOT1L sequesters spermatogonial stem cells in a primitive state and prevents them from transitioning to a progenitor state. These results identify a new function for DOT1L in adult stem cells and provides a paradigm for regulation of spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal. Self-renewal of spermatogonial stem cells is vital to life-long production of male gametes and thus fertility. However, the underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. Here, we show that DOT1L, the sole H3K79 methyltransferase, is required for spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal. Mice lacking DOT1L fail to maintain spermatogonial stem cells, characterized by a sequential loss of germ cells from spermatogonia to spermatids and ultimately a Sertoli-cell-only syndrome. Inhibition of DOT1L reduces the stem cell activity after transplantation, prevents spermatogonial stem cells from transitioning to a progenitor state, and sequesters them in a primitive state. Furthermore, DOT1L promotes expression of the fate-determining HoxC transcription factors in spermatogonial stem cells. Our findings identify an essential function for DOT1L in adult stem cells and provide an epigenetic paradigm for regulation of spermatogonial stem cells.

Project description:Spermatozoa have a unique genome organization: their chromatin is almost completely devoid of histones and is formed instead of protamines which confer a high level of compaction and preserve paternal genome integrity until fertilization. Histone-to-protamine transition takes place in spermatids and is indispensable for the production of functional sperm. Here we show that the H3K79-methyltransferase DOT1L controls spermatid chromatin remodelling and subsequent reorganization and compaction of spermatozoon genome. Using a mouse model in which Dot1l is knocked-out (KO) in postnatal male germ cells, we found that Dot1l-KO sperm chromatin is less compact and has an abnormal content, characterized by the presence of transition proteins, immature protamine 2 forms and a higher level of histones. Proteomics and transcriptomics analyses performed on spermatids reveal that Dot1l-KO modifies the chromatin prior to histone removal, and leads to the deregulation of genes involved in flagellum formation and apoptosis during spermatid differentiation. As a consequence of these chromatin and gene expression defects, Dot1l-KO spermatozoa have less compact heads and are less motile, which results in impaired fertility.

Project description:MTD project_description Inflammation and decreased stem cell function characterize organism aging, yet the relationship between these factors remains incompletely understood. This study shows that aged hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibit increased ground-stage NF-κB activity, which enhances their responsiveness to undergo differentiation and loss of self-renewal in response to inflammation. The study identifies Rad21/cohesin as a critical mediator of NF-κB signals, by increasing chromatin accessibility of inter-/intra-genic and enhancer regions. Rad21/NF-κB are required for normal differentiation, but limit self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during aging and inflammation in an NF-κB dependent manner. HSCs from aged mice fail to downregulate Rad21/cohesin and inflammation/differentiation inducing signals in the resolution phase after acute inflammation. and The inhibition of cohesin/NF-κB is sufficient to revert the hypersensitivity of aged HSPCs to inflammation-induced differentiation. During aging, myeloid-biased HSCs with disrupted and naturally occurring reduced expression of Rad21/cohesin are increasingly selected over lymphoid-biased HSCs. Together, Rad21/cohesin mediated NF-κB signaling limits HSPC function during aging and selects for cohesin deficient HSCs with myeloid skewed differentiation.
